The wooden wall, under Natsui's force, was kicked open like a hinged door. In the next second, as the entire wall fell outwards, it revealed a long cliff behind it.
And a dozen meters below the cliff was a river so deep its bottom couldn't be seen!
It seemed that if any trainer were to get trapped in the corridor and try to escape through the transom window, this unexpected trap would definitely send them plunging into the turbulent river below.
Haunter asked strangely, "Huh? How did you know there was a trap here?"
"Because before me, there was a very good cautionary tale!"
With that, Natsui turned and walked to the opposite wall. With a hard push, a revolving panel turned, revealing a battlefield inside.
He passed through the secret door and had just stepped inside when, with a series of whooshing sounds, a dozen shuriken flew towards him at high speed.
The shuriken whistled past him. A few of them even flew so close they almost grazed his ear, the wind they generated even stirring his hair!
Thunk, thunk, thunk!!
Natsui stood his ground calmly. When the surroundings fell quiet again, he looked back and saw that the shuriken were stuck in the secret door, outlining a perfect human figure!
A master of tracing outlines, truly excellent shuriken skills!
On the other side, a woman with a long green ponytail, exposed thighs, and wearing a pink ninja uniform descended from the sky, landing in front of Natsui.
"Born in darkness, living in darkness, such is the fate of a ninja. The kunoichi—Aya is here!"
Putting her entrance aside, her first impression on Natsui was that she was bewitching! Extremely bewitching!
And compared to Janine just now, her features were also much more beautiful!
But dressing like this isn't very conducive to stealth and assassination, is it?
Could she be the type of ninja who uses her beauty as a honey trap?
"To be able to defeat Janine and pass through all the traps to get here, you're really something," Aya clapped her hands. "And to remain so composed in the face of my shuriken, you're truly a remarkable man!"
Natsui's face was stern.
Hilarious. Do you really think I'm going to tell you I didn't even have time to react!?
"After spending so much effort, I thought I would finally get to see the Gym Leader."
Aya smiled, "If you want to see my brother, you'll have to defeat me first. But because you just defeated Janine, the number of Pokémon you can use has been reduced to two!"
As she spoke, she let out a whistle, and a furry Pokémon with compound eyes like a fly jumped to her side.
Pokédex: "BEEP. Venonat, the Insect Pokémon. A Bug and Poison type. Although its appearance may not seem friendly, it is actually a very gentle Pokémon. Its radar-like eyes are composed of many small eyes, ensuring that it will never let any prey escape, even in the dark!"
Since the opponent is a Venonat...
Natsui's fingers slid across the Poké Balls on his waist, finally choosing a Pokémon with a relative type advantage.
"Come on out, Charmeleon!"
A flash of blue light, and Charmeleon appeared in the middle of the field.
The moment it appeared, it looked at the Venonat before it, let out a loud roar to the sky, its eyes filled with soaring fighting spirit!
Slowly walking to the trainer's box, Natsui's eyes were simultaneously sizing up this battlefield.
The layout here was identical to the one where he had just battled Janine. If he wasn't sure he had gone upstairs, he would have thought he was still in the same room!
Once both sides were ready, Natsui directly gave the command to attack.
"Charmeleon, use Flamethrower!"
Charmeleon took a deep breath, its belly swelled, and as it opened its mouth, a stream of fire with rolling heat waves shot directly at Venonat!
Faced with the surging flames, Venonat's speed was no match, and it was unable to dodge, forced to take the full brunt of the attack.
Fire is super effective against Bug!
And just as Natsui was about to use the same trick again, he heard Aya suddenly shout, "Venonat, use Disable!"
Waves of light emitted from Venonat's body, hitting Charmeleon.
Although the move's name is Disable, its ability isn't actually to stop the opponent from moving, but rather to seal the last move the opponent used with a strange light wave!
This meant that after being hit by this attack, Flamethrower, which Charmeleon had only used once, was temporarily sealed by Disable!
"Very good, Venonat, now use Stun Spore!"
"Tch," Natsui clicked his tongue. Knowing he couldn't dodge, he couldn't help but shout, "Charmeleon, use Smokescreen!"
Black smoke and Stun Spore enveloped Charmeleon at almost the same time.
However, in Venonat's eyes, the thick smoke was as good as nothing. Even with Charmeleon inside the smoke, it could see it clearly with its radar-like eyes.
Aya shouted loudly, "Venonat, use Leech Life!"
Venonat moved its feet, rushed into the smokescreen, opened its mouth, and bit down hard on Charmeleon with its short fangs!
Outside the smoke, although Natsui couldn't see what was happening inside, he still shouted, "Charmeleon, use Dragon Rage!"
Inside the smokescreen, the just-bitten Charmeleon, though also unable to see clearly, still managed to grab hold of Venonat's body just as it released its bite and tried to leave. At the same time, a shockwave shot from its mouth, hitting Venonat's body!
Bang!
Hit by the Dragon Rage, Venonat was thrown onto the floor outside, and the smokescreen surrounding Charmeleon was blown away by the shockwave, quickly dissipating.
"Good chance! Charmeleon, use Fire Fang!"
As Natsui gave another command, flames appeared in Charmeleon's mouth and it charged towards Venonat. However, before it could get very far, it found its speed had become very slow, and then it suddenly stiffened, its body freezing in place!
It turned out the paralysis had taken effect, affecting its attack and temporarily preventing it from moving!
Seeing this, Aya quickly said, "Now's your chance, Venonat, use Confusion!"
A psychic wave emitted from the two antennae on Venonat's head. Natsui quickly directed Charmeleon to use Dragon Rage again to cancel out the psychic wave!
"Looks like we've reached a stalemate," Aya smiled, not waiting for Natsui to answer, and continued to command, "Venonat, keep attacking, let's see how long it can last! Use Leech Life!"
Venonat once again opened its gaping maw and charged towards Charmeleon. However, just as it got close, it suddenly heard Natsui's command: "Charmeleon, use Flamethrower!!"
"What!? Flamethrower!?" Aya was stunned at first, then as if remembering something, her expression changed drastically, "Oh no! Venonat, dodge it quickly!!"
Flames once again condensed in Charmeleon's mouth, then shot out, burning Venonat's body!
Seeing Venonat struggle for a long time before finally fainting, Natsui let out a long sigh of relief.
"Ms. Aya, that was your mistake. I think you were so absorbed in the battle that you forgot how long Disable lasts!"
